The Genesis of Safe Home:
The story begins with a woman known by all as “mums”, whose heart carries the echoes of a challenging past within the system. Having grown up needing tender love and care herself, she emerged with a profound understanding of the struggles faced by children in similar circumstances. Fuelled by an unyielding commitment to make a difference, she decided to dedicate her life to creating a space of safety and warmth.

Growing up, she experienced the unsettling reality of being tossed around in the system, an existence that left her with a profound void of hope and belonging. The concept of tender love and care eluded her until a transformative moment when she encountered someone who became a motherly figure in her life. It was through this relationship that she first tasted the warmth of genuine affection, realizing the profound impact it had on her own sense of identity and well-being. Armed with this newfound understanding, she embarked on a mission to provide the love and care she herself yearned for to those enduring similar challenges. Her journey is a testament to the transformative power of compassion, turning personal adversity into a beacon of hope for others in need.

From clothing to school supplies, and even the comforting treats that make a house a home, Mums invests not only her time and love but also her personal resources. Her selflessness and dedication create an environment where the children can thrive, fostering a sense of security and belonging that goes beyond the basic necessities.
